Michael Ignatieff Zitate

I may have come into politics with an unacknowledged condescension toward the game and the people who played it, but I left with more respect for politicians than when I went in. The worst of them - the careerists and predators - you find in all professions. The best of them were a credit to democracy.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich bin zwar mit einer nicht anerkannten Herablassung in Bezug auf das Spiel und die Leute, die es gespielt haben, in die Politik gekommen, aber ich habe den Politikern gegenüber mit mehr Respekt begegnet, als wenn ich reingegangen wäre. Die schlimmsten von ihnen - die Karrieristen und Raubtiere - finden Sie in allen Berufen. Die besten von ihnen waren ein Verdienst der Demokratie.

If you look at the world's top 50 drugs being sold today, they are being marketed and sold by companies that did not invent them. I respect patents. I'll pay a royalty. But I shouldn't be denied the right to produce drugs for poor people at reasonable prices.

I now have Youth Olympic, Olympic and European Games titles, which is a dream. I didn't fight that well and just scraped through a lot of the fights, but winning is a relief, and it's more points towards the Rio Olympics, which takes a bit of pressure off me.

People are hungry for someone who is real. They are hungry for something that is not the same plastic nonsense that has cause us to have such little respect for our political process and our political officials.

If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.
